I tend to fall on the side of Nuclear Weapons are comms for Nation Destroying Info...
But seriously, all the stuff I asked in the title, I haven't seen vids yet & am wondering if any normies will ask the same questions too, or if there is a rational explanation why there isn't nuclear fallout (assuming there isn't, or it isn't made a big deal)?
I recall the person you are thinking of, but I can't remember his name either. I think he offered to swallow some small amount of plutonium. Still not a good idea, in my book, as it is a heavy metal. The normal radioactivity of plutonium (and uranium) is alpha particles (helium nuclei), which does not penetrate far into tissue. Gamma rays, however, are very high-energy photons and can go through you like sleet. Classic ionizing radiation. Typical of fission products.
I still think it is instructive to get, say, an inexpensive civil defense Geiger counter to check out each other, granite countertops, and just good old-fashioned cosmic rays. We live in this stuff, and there is an argument that, at low levels, it is beneficial to our health by constant stimulation of our healing responses.

u/winn was awesome & sent a link with the same guy. I had not seen this video yet.
Thank you for the comment.
There was no fallout because there was no nuclear explosion. Uranium is not like nitroglycerine.

tbh this video makes me wonder. But how to reconcile this with the very obvious superness of the A-bomb... something definitely differentiates that from regular explosives
What are the constituents of black powder? Sulfur, carbon black, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). Separately, they are no big deal. Mix them together homogeneously and you have a high explosive, which is a chemical reaction (oxidation) among the ingredients.
The atomic bomb is a manifestation of a nuclear reaction, incited in a fissionable material with high sensitivity to neutron activation, AND the ability to produce more neutrons upon reacting, so as to achieve a self-perpetuating chain reaction. The primary bomb fissionable ingredients are either Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. A chemical explosion releases the energy latent in chemical bonds. A nuclear explosion releases the energy latent in the conversion of mass to energy. It is many orders of magnitude greater (per unit mass of the explosive material) than a chemical explosion. The speed of this energy release is much higher than the speed of the propagation of a chemical reaction, as a result of the geometric growth of the numbers of available neutrons through the chain reaction process.
Does this help? It is off the top of my head, but it is correct.
Thank you for this vid Winn. I need to do a deep dive into the visuals of explosives at some point. I recall thinking some of the explosions on Mythbusters looks like small mushroom clouds & wondered how many others look like that. I can't for the life of me recall the episodes though.
Nearly any explosion can produce a mushroom cloud. It is the natural result of smoke, ash, and dirt being drawn into the updraft of a volume of hot combustion products. Nuclear detonations are distinctive for the cloud being so large and lofted to a high altitude.
Thank you for this, that makes sense given the basics of what I learned in chemistry.
That said, it is hard to discern truth from lies if we do not educate ourselves & I know I need to keep learning so I can understand more & discern better.
ThanQ for being part of this conversation!
